- Persistent Character/RPG Zombie Mod for Arma 2. It is the best zombie experience you will ever have without actually having to wipe the brain goo of you real life clothes.
I'm an Arma nut, stumbled across this new mod (2 weeks old?) the other day and I cannot stop playing it.
It is amazing. Dont let the fact its 'Arma' put u off, its not Arma really.
I could describe it all night but you'd best just watch these vids, BTW bad language in vids:
You start of on your own in the middle of nowhere, 1 pistol, 8 shots, no map, no torch. If its dark in real life where the server is then its dark in game. The only goal is to scavenge and survive. Be good or evil, up to you. you have to eat and drink, full medical system. I've managed to live for 5 hours so far and thats pretty good!
The best thing about it is the other human players, they can be good or evil, you don't know. they can buddy up with you or shoot you straight off. Its like a live psychology experiment in the Arma engine.
Ive never played anything like it. Really captures the end of world, trust no one feel. And then there are Zombies, thousands of em.
I could blubber on all night but if you like Stalker etc then this is for you. Arma 2 is gone back into the top sellers on steam cause of this mod in last few days, it was dead pretty much.
It is about to go nuclear I reckon.
The bad- Its in alpha so a bit rough. Its got so popular its bloody hard to get into a server and the master server cannot handle all the folks trying to play. the dude who made this did not expect it to explode the way it did. but when you finally do get in, oh my god....
Just check it out if you like survival/ Zombie/horror/RPG/ Apocalypse games.
Advice- head north and keep your head down, be quite at night and dont use a light unless you have to.....
